Game On! C-TEC’S XFP Installed At Newcastle’s New Namco Gaming Centre

Says Solid State’s Installation Manager, Mark Suffolk, who oversaw the operation: ÔÇ£Newcastle Namco is the biggest one yet and it was really exciting to be part of the project. Working on behalf of EIC Northern, we installed a 2-loop 32-zone XFP fire alarm control panel which utilizes over 200 Apollo XP95 detectors and C-TEC-manufactured loop powered sounders and beacons.

Located in the Gateshead Shopping Centre, the new £4 million centre is the largest interactive entertainment venue in Newcastle. Measuring 3500 square metres and stacked full of up-to-the-minute amusement arcade games and computerised toys, the venue is set to attract thousands as it not only houses the latest gaming technology but also a bowling alley, restaurant and the fastest dodgems track in Europe.

Two of C-TEC’s NC951 disabled persons toilet alarms have also been installed to provide the Fun Station’s disabled washrooms with alarm facilities to alert staff in the event of an emergency. A 48-speaker voice alarm system is also in operation at the site.
